Chapter 2449: The Dubious Rumors!

"What does Saint Luo Fu want with us?"

"No idea. Let's go over anyway."

Houtu glanced at Xuanming; both blinked big eyes at each other, utterly clueless, yet hurried forward together, weapons still in hand, clearly just finished sparring.

Their battle pets scampered after them, trotting along without pause.

When they reached the center of the hall, they saw Cheng Long seated cross-legged; just as they moved closer, a crushing pressure slammed into them.

Both instantly raised their arms to block.

The battle pets beside them were flung away without warning, ejected straight out of the hall.

Houtu tried to grab his battle pet, but he himself was also trapped.

"Saint Luo Fu?"

She could barely hold on, whispering softly to ask what was going on—and instantly, Luo Fu withdrew his pressure.

Xuanming let out a deep breath, gasping heavily.

His weapon clattered to the ground, especially the Qiankun Ding—he had just used the Qiankun Ding to resist the aura radiating from Luo Fu.

Luo Fu is truly powerful!

In the Honghuang, no Da Luo Jinxian is stronger than Luo Fu, and Luo Fu's power must surpass even these Da Luo Jinxian.

Xuanming stared at Luo Fu with shining eyes, eager to learn even a single technique from him.

Though he possessed the Xuanming Bone Arrow and the Qiankun Ding, owning these did not mean his strength increased, nor his cultivation base.

If he could truly wield these items well, they might actually be effective.

Of course, he couldn't just use the Qiankun Ding at will—Ancestor Minghe had been trying endlessly to recall it.

Luo Fu once placed a talisman near the Qiankun Ding, sealing it in a circle; unless Luo Fu removed it, the Qiankun Ding belonged solely to Xuanming.

Ancestor Minghe had clearly been blocked.

But he knew this was all Luo Fu's doing—if he wanted the Qiankun Ding back, he'd have to confront Luo Fu.

To Luo Fu, the Qiankun Ding meant nothing; to Ancestor Minghe, it could summon everything left behind in the ancient demonic battlefield.

Xuanming probably didn't know this—only Ancestor Minghe did—so many didn't understand why Ancestor Minghe was so desperate to reclaim the Qiankun Ding.

But Luo Fu knew!

Luo Fu had known from the Ten Thousand Worlds Chat Group: everything Ancestor Minghe intended to do—this was precisely why Luo Fu had stopped him.

"Tsk tsk!"

"Ancestor Minghe, clever all his life, foolish for a moment!"

"By making this move, everyone in the Honghuang now knows his obsession with the Qiankun Ding. No matter what, once this rumor spreads, Ancestor Minghe will suffer."

Luo Fu did as he said—he spread every last bit of this information.

Soon, vague rumors spread through the Honghuang: Ancestor Minghe's obsession with the Qiankun Ding had ulterior motives—even Taishang Laojun had heard.

By the time Xuanming and Houtu arrived at Luo Fu's hall, the Honghuang was already discussing the Qiankun Ding.

This made Xuanming a subject of gossip throughout the Honghuang—after all, the Qiankun Ding now recognized Xuanming as its master; everyone wanted to know what Xuanming and Ancestor Minghe would do next.
